"1966" Zenith? Gimme a break...
 

Well, it was AROUND in '66...Close enuff for Gov't work...(grin)

No,:nono: measure once, cut twice, do your best, calk the rest, close enough for government work!:banana::banana::D:D:D

And this one isn't a "Mint, working contition 1955 RCA Color Television. 2nd Color TV made by RCA"...

Usually, they make 'em older, not newer...

if they saw color on that one, maybe it was 3-D too?

Well, there's a mahogany toned cabinet, green screen, brownish gray CRT bezel,
gold emblem on the controls door, lots of colors in fact...

they forgot to show this:

'Color by EASTMoN': wonder if they were bothered by the big
corporation in Rochester, NY. What a lame product!

The seller's a pigeon--sic 'em! :D

Oh, Dear God....This is why I say only those of us who KNOW & CARE about these things should be allowed to have them...

It's a pleasing wrong, though... It somehow doesn't bother me as much as all those 1929 Philco Predictas that show up.

And those 'nearly 100 years old' superheterodyne radios with octal tubes.

That roundie Zenith "entertainment center" is probably fairly rare. It would have been rather expensive new, and by now there are a lot less of them existing.

You would at least think that if it was in working condition as they say they would know it wasn't a color set. Could this be a scammer of some sort? He hasn't answered any of my inquiries.

He hasn't answered me either, watch out for this one. Maybe a few more people should try to get an answer from him, I'd be interested in what he has to say if he replies.

This is a new one on me and I'd love for something like this to happen. It's always "We have a 1960's TV" that actually turns out to be a 1991 Goldstar. Or, their 1930's radio turns out to be a mid '80's boombox.

On the "color" set: No one is going to fall for that unless they are totally clueless about TV's. I mean, give me a freaking break! It's a B&W console from the '50's that he'd be wise to take whatever someone offers him.

Hey Mark,

If you like this set, I know where you can get one that's in better condition, AND it's much closer to you!
